ESSBASE WEB SERVICES

� Web services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described, published, located and invoked over a network.

� Web services use XML to code and decode data, and SOAP (SimpleObject Access Protocol) to transport it.

� Web services are defined using WSDL (Web Service Description Language).Essbase Web Services support access to and administration of Essbase applications and cubes.
